The New York State Ubuntu Local Team is a group of volunteers and advocates united by a commitment to open source software and Ubuntu Linux. We work with all types of users including business, educational and home users. We believe that by brining the freedom of choice, power of community and stability of Ubuntu Linux to the public, we can change the face of computing for the better.
